Event Details:

Annie Nations, an indomitable Appalachian widow of 79, lives
on her mountain farm with the acerbic ghost of her husband, Hector. Her
tranquility is threatened by a brash real estate developer who wants to turn her
land into a vacation resort and by concern over her son, Dillard, a country
singer who has come home with two stranded children because his wife has run
away. Annie's battle to decide her future takes her through some funny, touching
and magical flashbacks to her life with Hector. Dillard, still singing the music
which used to infuriate his father, has an exuberant scene in which the audience
becomes his public at a fairground concert. Can Dillard woo his mother away from
the recalcitrant ghost? Will development swallow up the family farm? Only Annie
can decide. This play offers a staunchly affirmative tribute to mountain folk.
